I just picked up two of these rods for my kids. It casts GREAT! I'm thinking of using it myself on the small streams. :) It came ready to go with the line loaded. Deb

I have to agree, the kind of rod in the hands of the caster is what makes of breaks a cast. The rod has to fit your casting style. Personally I find that the slower rods are better for beginners, they are more forgiving. It can go too far the other way too, some rods are just too soft and unless you have a feel for the cast, it will not work for you. When I was teaching youth casting, one of the best rods I found for beginners was the Pfleuger Summit 8 1/2" 5 wt rod that W--M-- sold for $26.97. With reel and line, the whole shebang came to less than 50.00. The last time I saw the rods for sale, they were $32.00. Tony
